Make a Day of It!
Your adventure doesn’t have to end once your adoption is complete. Bellingham is full of cozy cafés and charming shops, perfect for continuing your outing after your visit to the Adoption Center.
Here are a few Bellinghamster favorites around town:
• Biscuit loves going for adventurous strolls in Whatcom Falls Park.
• Pumpkin couldn’t live without Sandwich Odyssey or the sweet treats at Pure Bliss.
• Oreo, the plant lover, highly recommends The Garden Spot.
• Crumbs can spend hours playing in the Ruckus Room.
• Nugget’s favorite stop is Sojourn Boutique, where humans can find fashion as fabulous as the Bellinghamsters’ wardrobe.
• Marshmallow adores Art & Happiness, just across the street, for all things crafty and magical.
Birthday Visits
Celebrating a birthday? The Adoption Center is honored to be part of your special day! Nothing makes a birthday brighter than welcoming a new friend.
The shop is perfect for the adoption experience, but it’s a little too cozy for a full birthday bash with cake and presents. Luckily, Bellingham has plenty of beautiful parks where you can enjoy cake, gifts, and hamster shenanigans to make the day unforgettable.
